<p><a href="https://turntouch.com/kickstarter">Turn Touch</a> is a solid wood remote… and it’s about to change the way you use NewsBlur.</p>

<p><strong>Change how?</strong></p>

<p>Here’s how. Turn Touch connects to apps and devices in your home. Think Hue lights and Sonos speakers. Your Mac, your phone, etc.</p>

<p>It also connects to NewsBlur.</p>

<figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="760" data-orig-width="1360" data-orig-src="https://turntouch.com/static/images/media-kit/graphics/use-case-news@2x.jpg"><img style="width: 650px;border: 1px solid #909090;" data-orig-height="760" data-orig-width="1360" src="https://turntouch.com/static/images/media-kit/graphics/use-case-news@2x.jpg" /></figure>

<p>This is big. It means you can wake up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee, and cycle through news from across the room. Or, hook your Mac up to a display (maybe your living room TV) and skip through photo blogs, headlines, and the day’s best writing.</p>

<p>It’s kind of like getting a new set of speakers. Where before, you’d be chained to your computer with headphones; now, you can listen to music from anywhere you’d like. With Turn Touch, you can leave your computer and read the news no matter what you’re doing— laundry, the dishes, or enjoying a lazy Sunday on your couch.</p>

<figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="877" data-orig-width="2000" data-orig-src="https://turntouch.com/static/images/media-kit/photos/Turn%20Touch-3248c.jpg"><img style="width: 650px;border: 1px solid #909090;" data-orig-height="877" data-orig-width="2000" src="https://turntouch.com/static/images/media-kit/photos/Turn%20Touch-3248c.jpg" /></figure>

<p><strong>Get one. Or all three.</strong></p>

<p><a href="https://turntouch.com/kickstarter">Turn Touch is on Kickstarter</a>. Back the project to get your very own. Or—and this is my sincere recommendation—get the complete set, save some money, and give one away to a friend.</p>

<p>I’ve been working on Turn Touch for years and I hope it shows.</p>
